Governor Paul LePage “Takes Media To The Woodshed”

This week it was announced that Peter Rogers had been named LePage’s communications director.He is everything that Paul LePage needs so that the work the governor is doing is not constantly overshadowed by the ridiculous responses he makes to the press.

Rogers has his work cut out for him, but one hopes his experience with the Gulf War, the War on Terror and raising five daughters has provided him with some of what he’ll need to survive the public persona that is LePage.

Kennebec Journal has no online version and the paper chose to bury Rebekah Metzler’s story on page B-3. Here is the Morning Sentinel’s version: LePage meets with Portland mayor.

(One wonders what is going on with the KJ; were they told to tone it down or lose all Statehouse access??) Considering that in the WMTM-8 video clip Rebekah is indeed the woman that LePage was yelling at, that question begs to be asked.

Lewiston Sun Journal, who initially reported the “woodshed” comments, seems to have taken the governor’s scolding yesterday to heart- as they failed to mention LePage’s apoplectic fit altogether: Fish on agenda as LePage meets Portand mayor.
